History of theories in language acquisition

[Marilyn Vihman]

Probably you're not looking for theories strictly concerned with phonology, but the 2nd ed. of my book, Phonological Development, will be out in February. It includes (in ch. 1) a little analysis of Chomsky's 1965 rationale for proposing the LAD (or UG), and then two chapters devoted to formalist, perception and functionalist models. There is a historical account there, although not only that. Maybe that is also useful (and it is current).

I’m primarily interested in typical first language acquisition, but it would be great to also have a couple of historical reviews of theories in atypical development, L2 acquisition and bilingualism. I’ll send round a summary of suggestions.
